Once you're hit with 3 types of cancer, you know your days are numbered.

You know, when you step into any/most hospital, somehow i always feel that theres this feeling of gloom floating around you know, except the koo teck puat hospital where i went to do my heart scan for NS, technology,facilities and building structures there totally change the mood of the hospital.

But tan tock seng hospital are one of those, old school hospitals you know, along with KK and gleneagles. Been long since i've been to a hospital, was surprised at the extent of privatisation being carried out in the hospital, there was like starbucks, subway delifwornce(as you should pronouce it),7/11.

So we headed up to the ward she was hospitalised in, and wow i almost couldnt recognise her man. The impression of my grandma i have is some plump sized grey hair woman who was always baring a teethless smile whenever we visted, no that surely could not be her. Lying in a bed was frail old woman just well, lying on the bed. My cousin was there and so was the maid.

You know, theres even a deeper sense of gloom within the ward since the lights in the ward are usually half dim. Maybe hospitals should you know, brighten the lights in the ward to give their patients something to look forward to. Might sound stupid but check out how excited 95% of the world gets when there are fireworks in the sky. Wait, theres no link here ~_~

But anyway its real sad to see a relative be in such a painful( though she claims she isnt) state man, it kinda sucks cos i havent really interacted much with her. Fault's on me anyway, whenever i go visiting i always sit down and just stare at the television screen while she sits next to me. I dont know how my cousins/nephew/niece are feeling right now, but i think we all share the same regret. Im not really close to my cousins cos im the only one in this 'age group' but lets hope that we wont carry this regret into our relationships with one another in the far future.

Lets just hope that my grandma will be able to fight on till my cousin's wedding on 10/10/10, at the very least.
